The Voice


title | The Voice, detail

artist | Edvard Munch

style | Expressionism

date | 1893



Artist Edvard Munch wrote of his inspiration for the painting The Voice: "A golden column quivered from top till bottom on the water surface, melting into its own gleam and dispersing through the waters. When our gazes meet, invisible hands weave fine threads from your big eyes to ming, thereby knotting our hearts together."
